I translated the voiceover texts to this feature-length
documentary film by Alice Agneskirchner.
The film was produced by Gebrueder Beetz (or,
as they prefer it written: gebrueder beetz), for whom I work regularly, in
co-production with 3sat and RBB. The filmmaker initially got the film off
the ground primarily through persistence and a Gerd-Ruge-Stipendium grant; the
final product has proven to be rather a success at film festivals and has already
been screened on German TV numerous times.
An
Apartment in Berlin combines a historic look at the
gradual dispossession and eventual deportation of a Jewish family in Berlin
prior to WWII with the lives of three young Israelis who embark on a journey of
refurnishing the Jewish family's original apartment. The result is an intriguing
and at times tragic look into Jewish life, past and present.
